Registered on December 6, 2006, KATSUKI-FD.COM is paid up until December 5, 2023. This gives it about 19 years of history. GMO INTERNET INC. (IANA ID 49) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is Japan. Its nameservers are ns5.unit-mse.co.jp and ns4.unit-mse.co.jp. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Nameservers decide where a domain's DNS is hosted, so a change of nameservers usually means the website or email moved to a new provider. Renewals are usually made for one to ten years at a time, so an expiry date far in the future shows a long-term commitment to the name. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself.
